Organize Your Health

Your health history shouldn’t be lost in the clutter. Get a handle on your family’s records with these simple tips:

Create a file for each person with name, Social Security number, birth date, and contact details, then make sure designated relatives know where and how to access hard copies and digital copies (consider an external hard drive, flash drive, or online servers like Google Health or Mayo Clinic’s Health Manager, which securely archive your medical information for free)

Keep records of all vaccinations, including those for travel abroad; be sure to note any illness you’ve had (like chicken pox) which negates the need for shots
